the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.

Bump PKGREVISION to 8.
Compile-tested only.
Jabber is an open XML protocol for real-time exchange of messages and
presence notification between any two points on the Internet. The first
application of Jabber technology is an asynchronous, extensible instant
messaging platform, and an IM network that offers functionality similar
to legacy IM systems such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo.
This is a complete rewrite of the original jabberd.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
Changes sinec 0.9.82:
- Fixes to make it compile with gcc 3.3 and Tcl/Tk 8.4.

* Show the contact list if it's visible on another workspace when toggling
visibility.
* Make links clickable in logs.
* Handle incoming private chats through group chats correctly.
* An experimental and optional dbus interface.
* Add status submenu to the notification area icon.
* Limit the length of the status text in the contact list.
* Plug memory leaks.
* When detaching a tab, put the new window at the pointer.
* Updated translations (ca, cs, es, hr, nl, no, sr, sr@Latn, sv).
Changes:
0.9.18:
=======
Upgrade release because of couple serious bugs in the 0.9.17. Especially
backup router had stability problems with 0.9.17. This was due to a rekey bug
when performing rekey with PFS, and because of another bug it caused the
backup (and other servers too) to crash. If you are running a normal server
or backup router then ugprading is strongly recommended. If you are running
any kind of server with PFS enabled in rekey, upgrading is recommended.
- Fixed protocol completion handling in connection closing.
- Fixed rekey with PFS to work on backup with disabled connections.
- Fixed CMODE command reply to return the user limit correctly.
- Fixed the watch notify to be called for resuming clients.
0.9.17:
=======
- Implemented the user limit to the CMODE_CHANGE notify and to the CMODE
and JOIN command replies, as defined in the new protocol specs.
- Implemented the public key support to WATCH command, as defined in
the new protocol specs.
- Added asynchronous connecting to remote router/server.
- Fixed the WHOIS public key deleting.
- Several other bugfixes were also made.
o various documentation updates
o ircii now requires an ANSI C compiler (such as GCC) to compile
o new /SET SWITCH_TO_QUIET_CHANNELS that allows SWITCH_CHANNELS binding
to ignore "quiet" channels.

o builds on solaris out-of-box again
Plugin for IRC client X-Chat which adds an icon in your systray that
flashes when you got highlighted message. Configurable events and
actions. Integrates with KDE, GNOME and Xfce4.

- Fix PLISTs for packages that use -release
- Include canonicalisation of a couple of paths for the benefit
of qt3-*
- the normal version=sunos patching

Take maintainership. Okayed by wiz.
The 12 identified problems range from simple standard stack overflows, over heap overflows to an integer overflow that can be abused to cause a heap overflow. Due to the nature of instant messaging some of these bugs require man-in-the-middle attacks between client and server. But the underlying protocols are easy to implement and MIM attacks on ordinary TCP sessions is afairly simple task.
Please see http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/012004.html
for more details.
Apply the fix posted in that advisory (originally by the FreeBSD security
team) and bump PKGREVISION to 1.

When you are upgrading from a prior release to SILC Client 1.0.1, there
are two issues you have to take special care of:
First of all the default theme (as defined in the file default.theme in
the source package) has changed. You may need to update your personal
theme to reflect those changes. The second change affects the filename
used to store the session data when /DETACH'ing. If you have detached
from a SILC network with your old client and want to resume the session
with SILC Client 1.0.1, you first have to
/SET session_filename session
After successfully resuming your session, you can revert the setting to
its default "session.$chatnet" again.
Changes:
--------
- /NOTICE and /ACTION command now both take a mandatory target argument
and an option -sign flag. Both work in channels and queries, /IGNORE
now correctly treats both. default.theme has changed, please update
your theme. Closes#1.
- /SILCNET [ADD|REMOVE|LIST] command to manage different SILC networks.
- /SMSG and /MMSG now correctly open new query windows if wished.
- New settings session_filename defines the filename used to store
session information generated by /DETACH. A setting like
session.$chatnet allows you to detach from different networks.

searched by their public key now. To search users by public key using
SILC Client, do the following (see the /HELP WHOIS for revised help
information on searching by public key):
To search nickname 'nick' that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS nick -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
To search all usesr that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub

works.
- Fixed the CUMODE for founder mode work correctly when there is already a
founder on channel. Normal server cannot anymore "replace" a founder
which is founder on router (even if authentication works). User on
router can "replace" founder that is on normal server assuming
authentication is successful.
- Fixed UMODE mode change bug when anonymous mode was already set. Now
modes can be changed normally.
- Minor fixes to backup router protocol. Some problems may still exist
and testing this feature is recommended.
- Improvements to router-to-router connections. Normal communication
should work. NOTE: This is experimental and you can expect problems
if you set up such network.
- Several other bugfixes.
dccserver is a standalone program aiming to provide the functions
of mIRC's /dccserver command.
Currently, Chat and Send (including resume) modes are supported.
Fserve and Get mode are not yet supported.
All connections are accepted; some simple checks on allowed file
names are done. For more details, please look in the man pages.
# Version 0.83 (released 2003-12-31) hilights:
* Mainly bugfixes.
* Added some features especially useful for public servers.
(Like server-client pinging)
Jabber is an open XML protocol for real-time exchange of messages and
presence notification between any two points on the Internet. The first
application of Jabber technology is an asynchronous, extensible instant
messaging platform, and an IM network that offers functionality similar
to legacy IM systems such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo.

v0.8.9 2003-12-11 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* Fixes a remote crash with:
a) non-x86 hardware (one requiring memory alignmentation)
b) script using "gui print text" signal (with x86 hardware too)
+ /SET auto_whowas OFF allows now disabling automatic /whowas when
/whois doesn't find a nick (by Borys)

used and others were added where needed.
Main NetBSD changes:
- switched from glib1 to glib2.
- added IRSSI_USE_SSL, defaulting to YES, for ssl server support
- make it possible to disable IPv6
v0.8.8 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
- Just a few fixes to converting old settings automatically
v0.8.7 2003-11-23 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
* Settings changes - we have now "time", "size" and "level" setting
types.
- Level settings should work the same as before.
- Time settings can have units: days, hours, mins, secs,
milliseconds (or msecs). The units can be combined and written
in shorter form as well, for example "5d 30m 10ms"
- Size settings can have units: gbytes, mbytes, kbytes, bytes.
They can be written in shorter form as well, eg. "gb" or "g".
Your existing settings should be converted automatically.
+ Pasting detection. All keys except CR and LF are pasted as-is into
prompt in pasting mode.
/SET paste_detect_time controls how closely each others characters
must occur for it to be considered pasting. Paste mode goes on when
first pasted CR/LF is found.
The first line may also contain some command characters. They are
executed, but their action in entry line is reverted once pasting
is detected.
What this means in practise is that even if you have TABs (assuming
TAB is completion key) in the first pasted line, they get pasted as
TABs.
This detection isn't perfect, so if it annoys you it can be disabled
with /SET paste_detect_time 0
+ If pasting more lines than /SET paste_verify_line_count, irssi asks
if you actually want to do that. This should be useful to prevent
accidental copy&paste mistakes. Setting it to 0 disables this
entirely.
+ Support for sending SSL certificate to server and optionally verify
server's certificate. See the -ssl_* options for /SERVER and
/SERVER ADD. Patch by Joel Eriksson.
+ DCC SERVER support by Mark Trumbull
+ Support for DCC sending larger files than 2GB if supported by
operating system (ie. 64bit file support). Receiving has always
been possible, but the statistics were wrong with >4GB files
if 64bit support isn't enabled.
+ Better displaying of DCC file transfer statistics.
- Several other minor fixes and enhancements, see ChangeLog
FISG is an IRC statistics generator that is meant to be, well, fast. It
handles large log files much more efficiently than PISG, and doesn't require
perl.

Changes:
* Small cleanups to prevent mIRC colors in /whois from disturbing
other screen text.
* In some circumstances, /open buddyname could cause multiple
windows to open for buddyname in IRC and Lily. Fixed.
* /groupbuddy will allow Tab completion for existing buddy names.
* (backported from 0.12.0) New $showraw. If non-zero, messages that
are not understood by the protocol drivers will be displayed in the
:RAW window.
* The recvfrom chain no longer stops execution when incoming
private/public messages are displayed. This allows hooks from
modules to have a weight heavier than 150.
* In some situations, AOL's servers can forcibly remove you from
chat rooms. naim will now automatically rejoin them, re-creating
them if need be.
* More small cleanups in the HTML renderer.
* The dtime() routine did not allocate enough space for some
possible strings, causing displeasing truncation. Fixed.
* In certain situations, $-variable expansion could result in an
improperly-terminated string, causing out-of-bounds memory access. Fixed.
Changes:
- disable perl support. it's broken and needs patches for lang/perl5[8] which
won't be applied during the freeze
1.0:
====
- Help file updates.
Changes:
- Fixed the file transfer (see /HELP FILE) session accepting and closing.
- Fixed nickname formatting to not mess the /NAMES command output.
- Fixed MIME header parsing to not show extra characters in the MIME type
name.
- Several other bugfixes were made.
- Removed RC6 algorithm from distribution.
- Added /LISTKEYS help file (see /HELP LISTKEYS).
- Implemented optimized RSA algorithm for faster private key operations.
Private key operations are now at least 30% faster. Note however that,
this optimization works only with newly generated key pairs.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer the old private key to
the new optimized format. There is no compatibility issues with old or
new private keys (new private keys work with older SILC Clients as
well, but they are slower to use).
- Implemented support for searching users in the network by their public
keys using WHOIS command. Note that, this feature will work only with
upcoming SILC Server. Current SILC Server 0.9.15 or older does not
support this feature.
See the /HELP WHOIS for revised help information on searching by
public key. Examples:
To search nickname 'nick' that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS nick -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
To search all usesr that has the specified public key, give:
/WHOIS -pubkey /path/to/the/public_key.pub
This search feature is the first search feature that uses the
Requested Attributes in WHOIS to base on the search or to narrow down
the searched values.
- added dependency on p5-File-MMagic if perl support enabled (for MMSG
support)
Changes:
- Fixed race condition between silc_client_init and my_silc_scheduler.
- Take reference of the socket in the parser context, as it's possible
to have the parsers in queue after the socket is disconnected and this
may cause crash.
- Check that packet queue purging was successful.
- Optimized the socket referencing in packet routines.
- Resolve the IP for file transfer listener from the connection socket.
- Added LISTKEYS command which can be used to list server and client
public keys from the ~./silc directory. See /HELP LISTKEYS.
- Improved the MMSG command. It now supports the target so it can be used
to send private messages too without opening a windows. It also
detects the MIME type now automatically. Support for digitally signing
the messages was also added. See /HELP MMSG, the help file is there
now. :) Replace the old silc-mime.pl script with the new one to take
advantage of all new features.
- Added /MMSG command help file.
This release focuses especially fixing the remaining MAC failed errors that
people have been experiencing and the infamous Error in select() error which
should now finally be gone. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
Changes:
- Fixed KICK command to not send the command reply twice.
- Fixed the QoS unregistering to avoid the errors in select() for invalid
socket connection.
- Fixed the rekey protocol timeout handling
- Fixed the packet processing to avoid clearing QoS data underneath the QoS.
Summary of changes from 0.11.6.2 to 0.11.6.3 [2003-10-29]
============================================
[pkg fea] More Makefile rewrites for improved compatibility.
[FT bug] Long-standing connection-deletion routine has been addressed. This
is a partial backport of the complete rewrite for 0.12.
[FT fea] Incoming messages containing links to www.candidclicks.com are
automatically ignored and the sender is automatically warned.
[FT bug] Several memory leaks have been corrected.
[Lil bug] When someone retitles a discussion, a window would be opened for
it even if you were not a member. Fixed.
[Lil bug] Potential buffer underflow in signon code identified. Fixed.
[Lil fea] New line-receiving code backported from 0.12.
[Lil fea] New line-parsing code backported from 0.12.
[UI bug] Potential use of uninitialized buffer in statusbar code
identified. Work-around implemented.
[UI bug] If two windows had identical presentations due to modifying
$nameformat/$nameformat_named, Tab would stop working. Fixed.
[UI bug] When leaving a chat generated an error, partial stack corruption
occurred. Fixed.
[UI bug] Double-join protection kept users from joining channels with an
open window that they were not actually inside. Fixed.
[UI bug] Potential heap corruption from realloc()ing a string and then
copying it into itself identified. Fixed.
[UI FEA] New key-handling code dramatically improves responsiveness for
laggy connections and when pasting large blocks of text.
Changes:
- Fixed a crashbug that occurred frequently when joining and leaving
channels.
- Fixed a crashbug in secure file transfer.
- Several other bugfixes were made.
- Introduction of multimedia message sending and reception. A perl script
silc-mime will introduce a new command MMSG, which can be used to send
MIME messages. This enables users to send for example images and other
messages. The SILC Client will automatically launch the application
that is able to view the message.
To start the script give command /script load silc-mime. It will try
to find a mailcap file which defines the MIME types and applications
that can show the MIME messages. If you want to receive MIME messages
you will also need to load the script.
To send a messages use /MMSG command. Give for example
/MMSG -channel foobar /path/to/file.gif to send a GIF image to channel
foobar. A shortcoming in the MMSG command makes it impossible to send
private messages without first opening a window for the query. This
will be fixed later.
The package does not work with MSN any longer due to protocol changes,
and the last activity on the author's part was about 19 months ago,
according to cvsweb.
Requested by Ben Collver, the maintainer.
Selected changes since 0.11.6.1:
* When supplied with an extra-long nickname on sign-on, some IRC
servers silently truncate the nickname to fit into their limits.
This confused FireTalk. Fixed.
* The /topic command sent a non-existent /TOPIC command to the
server instead of the proper /RETITLE command. Fixed.
* Several Makefiles have been rewritten for improved compatibility.
* Potential buffer overflow in spelling correction code identified.
This is thought to be responsible for several reports of the
recvfrom chain "losing" its hooks, stopping incoming messages from
being displayed to the user. Fixed.
* Small improvements to the HTML renderer.
caused the Yahoo plugin to stop working. Other bugfixes are also included
as well (as I could see, locales are installed again, the main window appears
properly, while in the previous version it got hidden misteriously, etc).
